Delayed decisions are totally unacceptable, Gadkari tells NHAI officials

Asserting that delayed decisions are “totally unacceptable”, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday urged NHAI officials to fast-track highways construction through faster decision making.

Road Transport, Highways and MSME Minister Gadkari was addressing regional officers of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) through video conferencing.

Re-emphasising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s stress on the need for fast growth of infrastructure, Gadkari said that there is an urgent need to develop a positive, transparent, corruption-free working system with time bound decision making, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said in a statement. “Delayed decisions are totally unacceptable as they lead to colossal loss of time and resources and add to the woes of people,” the minister told officials.
